Namco is trying hard to sell their required 2 million copies of Soul Calibur

By IGN Staff

Show me a gamer who'd dare deny the potential Namco's Soul Calibur has to revitalize the Dreamcast market in Japan, and I'll show you a moron. Yes, folks, Namco's fighting masterpiece is making its way to Sega's budding young console on August 5th, and in massively improved form. Most who've seen the game point to it as being just about the greatest-looking game on the planet.

Namco's apparently not content with the massive 'net-based hype that's lead to the game's current ranking in Dreamcast Magazine as the third most wanted game (just behind Shenmue and Grandia 2), and has begun an ad campaign aimed at selling the game on hungry Dreamcast users in Japan.

We've managed to obtain a copy of a commercial for the game that's currently airing in Japan. The video window is small, the quality is low, and the mix of live action and game footage is questionable, but anyone who considers himself a Dreamcast fan will have to see it.
